What drives the price up or down

•How many areas you design (front, back, side yards each add cost).
•Yard size and how much of it is being redesigned.
•Number of revision rounds beyond the one included.
•Add-ons like construction documents or a follow-up consult.
•Your region, since designer time is priced against local market rates.

Yardzen cost, common questions

How much does Yardzen cost in 2026?

Expect roughly $1,500 to $3,000 for a starter, single-area package and $3,500 to $8,000+ for a full backyard or front-and-back project. Pricing is per project and paid before design work begins.

Is Yardzen worth the money?

If you want a finished, build-ready plan with a climate-specific plant list and a vetted contractor, and you have a real build budget, yes. If you just want to explore styles and see your space redesigned, a $19 to $69 per month AI tool covers that at a fraction of the cost.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Yardzen?

Tilly tends to be cheaper on entry packages (around $649). For visualisation specifically, AI Garden Design is far cheaper still at $19 to $69 per month with unlimited redesigns, though it does not replace a human designer's plant list or contractor sourcing.
